Property doesnt have eaves, built with Cedar, 2 stories built in 1980-1989 in good location

Stay away?

My house is Cedar upper cladding, brick lower, no eaves and no issues at all, built in 1987. Was built by well respected local builder though so standard is very high.
Hope that helps, just get a full building inspection if you have concerns, we did.

Mine is 2-storey cedar clad home built in 1989. There are eaves on two sides only but the windows and doors have flashings which is good. Didn't appear to be anything wrong when I bought 5 years ago and doesn't seem to be any now. Having said that, it's an exceptionally sunny location.

Do you have a link?

I understand that if cedar isn't oiled then it can be stuffed in 15-20 years.
Those cedar houses that have been left un-oiled and have turned grey could be a problem.

location? Heard some certain cedar homes in particular locations have problems.

Which locations?

Has flashings but no eaves

Or home is cedar too. Short eaves. In a wet area.

We paint it every 10 years.

It's totally fine.
